Introduction
Mex CV Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Mex CV Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Mex CV Dry Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Mex CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Mex CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Mex CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Mex CV Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Mex CV Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Mex CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Mex CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Mex CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics, including Mex CV Dry Syrup, usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Mex CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Mex CV Dry Syrup, your child's doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition is being effectively managed.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Mex CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, it is not recommended to give a higher dose of Mex CV Dry Syrup than the recommended dose, as this can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Mex CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is crucial to complete the full course of treatment with Mex CV Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Stopping the medicine prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Mex CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Mex CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea, as it kills harmful bacteria and can also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists or is accompanied by signs of dehydration, consult your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. It is essential to consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics, as they can increase the risk of side effects and may not be necessary.
The mucus coming out of my child's nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), seek immediate medical attention. These side effects are rare but serious and require expert attention.
